Boba_Fett1138 Like most other people, I can certainly appreciate a fun, campy B-flick but sometimes things are just too much to handle. This movie makes no attempt at ever trying to be creative or original and it isn't even really trying to be good. It's like the film-makers already gave up on things, before they even started shooting.This means that the movie allows itself to be as silly as possible and it doesn't worry about any logic or consistency. It's mostly a very random movie, that seems to be thrown together from an one hour brainstorm session, Roger Corman had with his staff.The lack of true creativity and originality with its story was truly the thing that bothered me the most. It does not only borrow heavily from other movies, it even borrows from itself. The movie is repeating itself numerous times throughout the movie and at times even recycles its own footage. 20 minutes in, the movie is already running out of steam and ideas. The most random things about this movie are its killings. There is not really any logic to it as to why Dinocroc and Supergator are killing certain people. You would think they are doing it for food but sometimes they are simply crushing people and seem to be wanting to kill as many random people as possible. And I mean some very random people. All these people literally pop up out of nowhere and you know they are only in this movie to get killed. This is not something unusual for a movie to do but this movie does this a bit too often. Not just once or twice but it happens all the time, throughout the entire movie.But it's not like there is much more logic to the story itself. Once you start thinking about it, all of the characters are making some incredibly stupid choices, that are far from likely to ever happen, in the case a real Dinocroc and Supergator would be on the loose one day.Still the thing that will caught the most attention is how incredibly bad the movie is looking. The special effects are really shocking and it's the kind of stuff basically everybody could do now days, on any random computer. Dinocroc and Supergator look like they have wandered right out of an old Playstation game and they just never look right whenever they have to interact with the environment or when they are attacking or eating random people. You won't believe how fake and horrible it's all looking! All of the actors seemed also very well aware of what mess they got themselves into. But really, it's not like they were expecting much good from this movie before they singed up for it. A glance at the title would had been enough for them to know that this wasn't going to be an award worthy movie. They all decide to go over-the-top and still have some fun with it, which was probably the best thing to do but it does take you out of the movie even more. Still David Carradine is trying to make something out of his role and he probably is the most professional thing about this entire movie.Sometimes bad its just bad. Especially when it's not even really trying.3/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

lovecraft231 I've gone out of my way to avoid reviewing any of the "_______ vs. _______" movies that the Scy-Fy Channel has offered. Unlike say, something like an old Kaiju flick like "Godzilla vs. Mothra", there's no real fun or excitement going on. Just plenty of dull mediocrity and usually forced attempts at campy humor, not to mention terrible CG effects and less than satisfactory final battles between the beasts. Well, I caved in and decided to review "Dinocroc vs. Supergator", but only because it was produced by Roger Corman and directed by Corman regular/Cinemax fave Jim Wynorski. Too bad the end result isn't that different.Jason Drake (David Carradine) runs a genetics lab that produces a growth serum, which he thinks should be tested on animals. This of course, turns out to be another example of man tampering with what he shouldn't, as it produces a giant gator and a dinosaur-crocodile hybrid (how that last part is possible is beyond me) that break loose and decide to snack on some people. To clean that up, he sends in some soldiers, who end up becoming gator chum. So, he sends a hot British gal named Victoria (Auerelia Parsons) and a guy known as "The Cajun" (Rib Hillis) to clean things up. To make things worse for Drake, he's being investigated by a government spy named Paul Beaumont (Cory Landis) and a hot but inappropriately dressed Parks and Recreations officer who sadly doesn't come from Pawnee, and is named Cassidy (Amy Rassimas.)Long story short: people are munched on, assassinations are attempted, and the Dinocroc and the Supergator will duke it out.Before I get on with the review, I want to mention that while I find conspiracy theories abhorrent and stupid, I'm starting to doubt that David Carradine is actually dead. Dude was pronounced dead like two years ago, yet he keeps showing up in movies. Maybe he faked his death, has done a few appearances in B-Movies, and now lives somewhere in the Philippines where he does a lot of cocaine and has a harem of underage prostitutes.Anyways, I'll give the movie this much: it does feature moments of Wynorski's trademark campy humor (I actually got a few laughs out of this), as well as his love of lovingly filming women in skimpy bikinis. Sadly, no female nudity, but this is a Scy-Fy Channel movie. I also kinda dug the score by Chuck Cirino and Al and Jon Kaplan, which appropriately features some twangy guitar riffs.Apart from that, there's really nothing to praise about this movie. The acting is all around awful, Carradine simply shows up a few times and seems bored. The gore is done via badly done CG, and there's only a few kills that stand out, as most of them are pretty lame. Most of the characters (including a rather pointless movie producer) exist only to become monster food. The final battle is pretty one-sided, not to mention boring and far too brief. Then there's the fact that this whole thing is illogical even by Scy-Fy channel standards. How is it possible to do a dinosaur-crocodile hybrid? Why would anybody want to do create such a thing? Exactly why are they experimenting on animals? What in God's name is with the movie producer character? Why are the Dinocroc and the Supergator fighting? Nothing is really explained, and none of it makes any sense, which makes for a confusing experience.There isn't a lot that differentiates from the usual Scy-Fy Channel movie here. There's no attention paid to logic, the effects are bad, the acting is mostly dull, and it's rarely that exciting. I've seen worse from them, but this is still lazy, uninteresting garbage.

gavin6942 A company that is given license to make large vegetables and mushrooms uses their abilities to make large killing machines -- an alligator and a crocodile. As you might expect if you saw "Jurassic Park", they are hard to contain.The film has some clear references to "Jurassic Park", whether intentional or not. The scene with the jeep being chased was just such an homage (or ripoff). I was waiting for someone to say "faster, must go faster" or a shot of the rearview mirror.The director Jay Andrews used to be Jim Wynorski (well, he still is) and made some great cheesy horror films. You might know "Chopping Mall", one of the greats from the 1980s. Working for SyFy is quite the step down, but I suspect his friendship with Roger Corman is what got him on board.The DVD or Blu-Ray has audio commentary by Roger Corman and Jay Andrews -- it is good to get Corman on the record as much as possible these days, as he is beyond his golden years. Is this the greatest commentary track you will ever hear? Most likely not. But Corman already has a legacy, and the more he says, the better. Someday we will no longer have this American treasure.Although he is quite dead, we have David Carradine in a much better posthumous role than "Fall Down Dead". Again, not like a peak in his career like "Kill Bill" or "Death Race", but at least he is treated with some dignity here and not made out to be a forgetful, weak old man.Are alligators and crocodiles mortal enemies? I have my doubts... The SyFy network may have bad special effects and I can let that slide because we have all come to expect that. But you have to have "science" to have science fiction, so if you cannot get basic facts right about your subjects, you stink.

Neil Welch Look at the lovely Hawaiian scenery! Savour the attractive young woman who wobble around in bikinis every now and then! That's about it, folks.You also have a predictable plot, cardboard characters, rubbish dialogue, and some indescribably bad (though not unexpectedly indescribably bad, more like completely predictably indescribably bad) CGI, and David Carradine picking up a paycheque while not looking very well in one of about nine movies released posthumously.This is the sort of bad film which gives bad films a bad name.Avoid.
